CVE Vulnerabilities for OpenOffice
| CVE | Published | Severity | Details | Exploitability | Impact | Vector |
| CVE‑2023‑47804 | 2023‑12‑29 15:15:09 | HIGH (9) | Apache OpenOffice documents can contain links that call internal macros with arbitrary arguments. Several URI Schemes are defined for this purpose. Links can be activated by clicks, or by automatic document events. The execution of such links must be subject to user approval. In the affected versions of OpenOffice, approval for certain links is not requested; when activated, such links could therefore result in arbitrary script execution. This is a corner case of CVE-2022-47502. | 3 | 6 | NETWORK |
| CVE‑2022‑47502 | 2023‑03‑24 16:15:08 | HIGH (8) | Apache OpenOffice documents can contain links that call internal macros with arbitrary arguments. Several URI Schemes are defined for this purpose. Links can be activated by clicks, or by automatic document events. The execution of such links must be subject to user approval. In the affected versions of OpenOffice, approval for certain links is not requested; when activated, such links could therefore result in arbitrary script execution. | 2 | 6 | LOCAL |
| CVE‑2022‑38745 | 2023‑03‑24 16:15:08 | HIGH (8) | Apache OpenOffice versions before 4.1.14 may be configured to add an empty entry to the Java class path. This may lead to run arbitrary Java code from the current directory. | 2 | 6 | LOCAL |
| CVE‑2022‑37401 | 2022‑08‑15 11:21:42 | HIGH (9) | Apache OpenOffice supports the storage of passwords for web connections in the user's configuration database. The stored passwords are encrypted with a single master key provided by the user. A flaw in OpenOffice existed where master key was poorly encoded resulting in weakening its entropy from 128 to 43 bits making the stored passwords vulnerable to a brute force attack if an attacker has access to the users stored config. This issue affects: Apache OpenOffice versions prior to 4.1.13. Reference: CVE-2022-26307 - LibreOffice | 3 | 6 | NETWORK |
| CVE‑2022‑37400 | 2022‑08‑15 11:21:42 | HIGH (9) | Apache OpenOffice supports the storage of passwords for web connections in the user's configuration database. The stored passwords are encrypted with a single master key provided by the user. A flaw in OpenOffice existed where the required initialization vector for encryption was always the same which weakens the security of the encryption making them vulnerable if an attacker has access to the user's configuration data. This issue affects: Apache OpenOffice versions prior to 4.1.13. Reference: CVE-2022-26306 - LibreOffice | 3 | 6 | NETWORK |
| CVE‑2021‑41832 | 2021‑10‑11 08:15:07 | HIGH (8) | It is possible for an attacker to manipulate documents to appear to be signed by a trusted source. All versions of Apache OpenOffice up to 4.1.10 are affected. Users are advised to update to version 4.1.11. See CVE-2021-25635 for the LibreOffice advisory. | 4 | 4 | NETWORK |
| CVE‑2021‑41831 | 2021‑10‑11 08:15:07 | MEDIUM (5) | It is possible for an attacker to manipulate the timestamp of signed documents. All versions of Apache OpenOffice up to 4.1.10 are affected. Users are advised to update to version 4.1.11. See CVE-2021-25634 for the LibreOffice advisory. | 4 | 1 | NETWORK |
| CVE‑2021‑41830 | 2021‑10‑11 08:15:07 | HIGH (8) | It is possible for an attacker to manipulate signed documents and macros to appear to come from a trusted source. All versions of Apache OpenOffice up to 4.1.10 are affected. Users are advised to update to version 4.1.11. See CVE-2021-25633 for the LibreOffice advisory. | 4 | 4 | NETWORK |
| CVE‑2021‑40439 | 2021‑10‑07 16:15:09 | MEDIUM (7) | Apache OpenOffice has a dependency on expat software. Versions prior to 2.1.0 were subject to CVE-2013-0340 a "Billion Laughs" entity expansion denial of service attack and exploit via crafted XML files. ODF files consist of a set of XML files. All versions of Apache OpenOffice up to 4.1.10 are subject to this issue. expat in version 4.1.11 is patched. | 3 | 4 | NETWORK |
| CVE‑2021‑33035 | 2021‑09‑23 08:15:07 | HIGH (8) | Apache OpenOffice opens dBase/DBF documents and shows the contents as spreadsheets. DBF are database files with data organized in fields. When reading DBF data the size of certain fields is not checked: the data is just copied into local variables. A carefully crafted document could overflow the allocated space, leading to the execution of arbitrary code by altering the contents of the program stack. This issue affects Apache OpenOffice up to and including version 4.1.10 | 2 | 6 | LOCAL |
| CVE‑2021‑30245 | 2021‑04‑15 20:15:12 | HIGH (9) | The project received a report that all versions of Apache OpenOffice through 4.1.8 can open non-http(s) hyperlinks. The problem has existed since about 2006 and the issue is also in 4.1.9. If the link is specifically crafted this could lead to untrusted code execution. It is always best practice to be careful opening documents from unknown and unverified sources. The mitigation in Apache OpenOffice 4.1.10 (unreleased) assures that a security warning is displayed giving the user the option of continuing to open the hyperlink. | 3 | 6 | NETWORK |
| CVE‑2021‑28129 | 2021‑10‑07 16:15:08 | HIGH (8) | While working on Apache OpenOffice 4.1.8 a developer discovered that the DEB package did not install using root, but instead used a userid and groupid of 500. This both caused issues with desktop integration and could allow a crafted attack on files owned by that user or group if they exist. Users who installed the Apache OpenOffice 4.1.8 DEB packaging should upgrade to the latest version of Apache OpenOffice. | 2 | 6 | LOCAL |
| CVE‑2020‑13958 | 2020‑11‑17 16:15:12 | HIGH (8) | A vulnerability in Apache OpenOffice scripting events allows an attacker to construct documents containing hyperlinks pointing to an executable on the target users file system. These hyperlinks can be triggered unconditionally. In fixed versions no internal protocol may be called from the document event handler and other hyperlinks require a control-click. | 2 | 6 | LOCAL |
| CVE‑2018‑11790 | 2019‑01‑31 16:29:00 | MEDIUM (5) | When loading a document with Apache Open Office 4.1.5 and earlier with smaller end line termination than the operating system uses, the defect occurs. In this case OpenOffice runs into an Arithmetic Overflow at a string length calculation. | 0 | 0 | LOCAL |
| CVE‑2018‑10583 | 2018‑05‑01 16:29:00 | MEDIUM (5) | An information disclosure vulnerability occurs when LibreOffice 6.0.3 and Apache OpenOffice Writer 4.1.5 automatically process and initiate an SMB connection embedded in a malicious file, as demonstrated by xlink:href=file://192.168.0.2/test.jpg within an office:document-content element in a .odt XML document. | 0 | 0 | NETWORK |
| CVE‑2017‑9806 | 2017‑11‑20 17:29:00 | HIGH (8) | A vulnerability in the OpenOffice Writer DOC file parser before 4.1.4, and specifically in the WW8Fonts Constructor, allows attackers to craft malicious documents that cause denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution. | 2 | 6 | LOCAL |
| CVE‑2017‑3157 | 2017‑11‑20 20:29:01 | MEDIUM (4) | By exploiting the way Apache OpenOffice before 4.1.4 renders embedded objects, an attacker could craft a document that allows reading in a file from the user's filesystem. Information could be retrieved by the attacker by, e.g., using hidden sections to store the information, tricking the user into saving the document and convincing the user to send the document back to the attacker. The vulnerability is mitigated by the need for the attacker to know the precise file path in the target system, and the need to trick the user into saving the document and sending it back. | 0 | 0 | NETWORK |
| CVE‑2017‑12608 | 2017‑11‑20 20:29:00 | HIGH (8) | A vulnerability in Apache OpenOffice Writer DOC file parser before 4.1.4, and specifically in ImportOldFormatStyles, allows attackers to craft malicious documents that cause denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution. | 2 | 6 | LOCAL |
| CVE‑2017‑12607 | 2017‑11‑20 19:29:00 | HIGH (8) | A vulnerability in OpenOffice's PPT file parser before 4.1.4, and specifically in PPTStyleSheet, allows attackers to craft malicious documents that cause denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution. | 2 | 6 | LOCAL |
| CVE‑2016‑6804 | 2017‑11‑20 15:29:00 | HIGH (8) | The Apache OpenOffice installer (versions prior to 4.1.3, including some branded as OpenOffice.org) for Windows contains a defective operation that allows execution of arbitrary code with elevated privileges. This requires that the location in which the installer is run has been previously poisoned by a file that impersonates a dynamic-link library that the installer depends upon. | 2 | 6 | LOCAL |
| CVE‑2016‑6803 | 2017‑11‑13 14:29:00 | HIGH (9) | An installer defect known as an "unquoted Windows search path vulnerability" affected the Apache OpenOffice before 4.1.3 installers for Windows. The PC must have previously been infected by a Trojan Horse application (or user) running with administrative privilege. Any installer with the unquoted search path vulnerability becomes a delayed trigger for the exploit. | 0 | 0 | NETWORK |

Lavawall®'s data gathering approach started with Government and Fortune 50 information security audits. When our founder transitioned from audit and assurance work to a Managed IT Service Provider (MSP), he was shocked that basics like Multi-Factor Authentication were painful to implement in some RMMs like ConnectWise and it was impossible to turn off remote access services in others like Datto RMM and SuperOps.
Lavawall® was built from the ground up with these concerns and the Minimum Viable Secure Product requirements in mind.
Some of the controls we implemented include:
Lavawall® was built from the ground up with these concerns and the Minimum Viable Secure Product requirements in mind.
Some of the controls we implemented include:
- PassKeys as the preferred primary authentication at no additional cost
- Single Sign-on using modern, maintained, and industry-standard protocols for all customers at no additional cost
- Multi-Factor Authentication as a non-negotiable default
- Encrypting communications the same way as TLS again within the TLS tunnel, so we can allow TLS inspection without breaking like Huntress or disclosing security vulnerabilities to eavesdroppers.
- Encouraging external vulnerability reports and customer testing
- Passwords checked against popular disclosed passwords, hashed before they leave your computer, and then stored using Argon2id
- Not requiring the use of passwords at all. We consider them a temporary backup authentication in case you can't use passkeys or SSO.
Lavawall® scanning computers are on dedicated servers in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Lavawall® databases and front-end systems are hosted with AWS in Montréal, Québec, Canada.
We send emails through AWS in Ireland and dedicated servers in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
We send text messages for additional identity verification through Twilio in the United States.
We store executables and pass requests through Cloudflare at your nearest edge location.
We use Cloudflare for risk management, turnstile, and web application firewall services.
We use LeadPages for landing pages.
We use Google and Facebook for analytics on our public-facing pages, but they do not have access to the console.
We integrate with third-party tools, such as Microsoft, Google, Huntress, Screen Connect, Axcient, and Datto in their respective locations. However, you must initiate these integrations through single sign-on or by enabling them in your Lavawall® console.

Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions
The three big catalysts for Lavawall® were:
- Two years after a missing Plex Media Server led to the LastPass breach, the
Remote Monitorign and Management (RMM) tools availabel for Manged IT Service Providers (MSPs)
still didn't monitor for it.
Going through industry-specific applications, we noticed many were missing from the big RMM and patching providers. MSPs, insurance providers, and organizations that put their cleints at risk need to know about these risks, which lead to the largest number of critical audit findings and breaches - After 20 years of writing the same audit findings about system configurations, Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance, and missing patches, our technical co-founder wanted to make it easier fo avoid these findings
- The existing risk visibility tools for insurance underwriters took a shallow look at Internet-facing risks. They -- along with all businesses -- need a deeper view of the threats that could actually lead to breaches.
Lavawall® breaks vulnerabilities into the following groups:
- Domain risks
- Operating System (OS) patches
- Application patches
- Network vulnerabilities
- Cloud vulnerabilities
- OS configurations
We are currently building more third-party interfaces.
Current interfaces include:
- Axcient*
- Cloudflare
- Connectwise Screen Connect
- Datto RMM
- FreshDesk*
- Huntress
- Microsoft 365
- Panorama9
- ZenDesk

Lavawall® supports the following operating systems:All versions of Windows 10 and 11.
Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, and RedHat-based Linux distributions
MacOS
Lavawall® does not currently support non systemd distributions, such as Devuan, Artix Linux, PCLinuxOS, OpenWRT, and DD-WRT. However, we will support them by the end of 2024.
In June 2024, we combined the Windows and Linux systems for a consistent experience. This added support for RedHat and MacOS.

Privacy & Security
We encourage primary authentication for Lavawall® through Passkeys or Single Sign On (SSO).
However, we do allow passwords and use passwords as part of the zero-knowledge encryption for your clients' sensitive data, such as Bitlocker keys and Personally-Identifiable Information (PII).
These passwords use Argon2id slow hashes with individual salts and peppers.

Yes! Lavawall communicates with its endpoints through TLS. However, given that many of our clients want to be as secure as possible and have
TLS inspection enabled, we allow for "insecure" connections with invalid certificates, which result from such configurations.
We have added an additional secure tunnel that mimics the TLS process within the public TLS tunnel. This extra tunnel provides authentication and privacy for the workstations and the Lavawall® servers to prevent attacks such as the one that took down Solar Winds.

We do not enable remote access tools like ScreenConnect unless you authorize them
and are logged in. Lavawall® was not vulnerable to the ScreenConnect vulnerability
because we install and uninstall it right before it's used. In addition, we give the option of linking to Access.
Remote access is not enabled for read-only and audit situations.
